How to Install Tokumei on Ubuntu Server Latest

Tokumei is a minimalist, anonymous blogging platform that allows its users to create and share posts without the need for an account. If you're interested in implementing this platform on your Ubuntu server, follow the steps below.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu Server Latest
• SSH access to the server
• Sudo privileges

Step 1: Update the Server

First, update the packages list on your Ubuntu Server by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, install the required packages for Tokumei to run by running the command below:

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common git curl unzip zip sqlite3 build-essential nginx php-fpm php-sqlite3

Step 3: Install Composer

To manage Tokumei's dependencies, we will need to install composer. Run the following commands in the terminal to install composer.

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Step 4: Clone Tokumei Source Code

We will now install Tokumei's source code on our Ubuntu Server. You can do so by running the command below to clone the source code from GitHub.

sudo git clone https://github.com/tokumei/tokumei.git /opt/tokumei

Step 5: Install Tokumei Dependencies

Navigate to the Tokumei's directory on the server and then run composer to install its dependencies.

cd /opt/tokumei

sudo composer install

Step 6: Create Nginx Configuration File

Create a new Nginx configuration file for Tokumei using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/tokumei

Then paste the code below into the configuration file, making sure to replace 'example.com' with your server's domain name:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name example.com;

        root /opt/tokumei/public;
        index index.html index.php;

        charset utf-8;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
        }

        location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}

Save and exit the file (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter).

Step 7: Enable Nginx Site and Reload Config

We will now enable the newly created Nginx configuration file and reload the Nginx configuration for the changes to take effect.

Run the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/tokumei /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

sudo systemctl reload nginx

Step 8: Configuring Tokumei

Create a new configuration file for Tokumei by copying from its example file.

sudo cp /opt/tokumei/config.example.ini /opt/tokumei/config.ini

Open up the configuration file with your preferred text editor.

sudo nano /opt/tokumei/config.ini

In the configuration file, replace the value of host with your website's domain name.

host = "example.com"

Also, set a new session secret key.

session_secret_key = "verysecurekey"

Then save and exit the file.

Step 9: Test Your Installation

Access your website on your browser using your domain name to check if the installation was successful. If everything was done correctly, you should see the Tokumei's home page.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tokumei on your Ubuntu server.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
